I am beyond proud of the result; hearing your own lyrics has always been special tome, let alone when they’re sung to perfection.” – Armin van Buuren
“I’m really proud of our new single. I’m still buzzing from the fact that I got to hit the studio with someone so musically gifted as Armin to create a powerful song that reflects who we are as musicians. I’m al so very honored he asked me to accompany him at his biggest – ever European solo show in Romania.” – Davina Michelle
